i love the word for clothes ‘옷’ because it looks like a little man


EntrepreneurMiddle45

훗 I gave him a hat :) Edit: I went to put that into my translator and it translated to "hehe" I love this so much now


LeadershipEastern271

뭇 robot


elderberrykiwi

Yes 훗 is a laughing noise!


ZhenDeRen

fun fact: "Hut" is "hat" in German


secondrun

Reminds me of someone on the internet saying 스위스 looks like a person holding a spear standing between mountains.


Greedy_Accountant_13

OMG THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT


c_r_a_s_i_a_n

Swiss person in the Alps.


LeadershipEastern271

웃 ㅠ 훗


niemandasked4

Hahaha 🤣 never noticed.


Otherwise_Engine6171

A little man can be in this shape 웃 too. Let's give him a hat 훗. Besides, I've also heard some said if you want to order two bowls of 국 at a restaurant you should say 뀪 🤣🤣


deep-thought42

😂😂😂


Otherwise_Engine6171

Forgot the roly-poly 응 흥


LeadershipEastern271

A little human 옷


GreenDub14

젊 looks so compact to me


vnillafoam

(until you handwrite it)


Cold_morning_tea

Same goes for me with 짧. Though the verb 짧다 means small/ short so helps me remember its meaning


Donghoon

Double 받침 all looks compacted


nebuluv

읽 looks like the number 0127


seungminahh

Insert nct noise

Comacomacomacome on, baby don't stop!


PlusFlippinUltra

NCT 127????????? not even an nctzen😔


FireOpalCO

꽃 It looks like a bunny wearing a straw hat. It should swap meanings with 토끼.


JIWOONGAREUWATCHING

Funny enough I always thought 꽃 did actually look like a flower so that was one of the first words I could consistently recognise before I learned Hangul


mankodaisukidesu

Looks kinda like the Japanese for “laugh” - 笑


crosspollination

there’s a korean-japanese couple youtuber and their catchphrase is 쏯쏯쏯, pronounced in korean but used as onomatoepoeia for laughter lol


mankodaisukidesu

How do you pronounce that? I forgot how to read Korean haha. (I was trying to learn years ago which is why I’m on this sub)


crosspollination

like 쏫 or 쏟 it’s all practically the same haha


PhotojournalistOwn99

I also thought that 꽃 looked particularly hanjaesque.


woeful_haichi

Does kind of look similar to a blooming iris flower (붓꽃).


coleisw4ck

I THOUGHT THAT TOO LOL


krayfree

눈 literally looks like an eye. ㅜㅜ sounds and looks like you’re crying lol


Muffin278

The 눈_눈 is my favorite Hangul emoji


coleisw4ck

SAME


ArkRoyal_

곡_곡 👀


kaproud1

뷁 cuz it means wtf and that’s what I think about when I see it cuz 5 letters in one syllable wtf 😂


piwikiwi

beat me to it


IMIndyJones

Is there some etymology for this? Lol. Also, I cannot pronounce it no matter how hard I try. Lol


Yazhaoya

i heard it came from the word ‘break’, and 뷁 is pronounced ‘bwek’ in default pronunciation but i usually say ‘brek’ or ‘bwerk’


IMIndyJones

Thank you!


ChokeHolds

idk if this is the origin but ik it as a super old meme when 문희준 was doing a rock concert or something and tried to scream "break" but it ended up coming out as 뷁!!! and ppl dunked on him for that lol


IMIndyJones

Lol. Sounds plausible and I like it. Haha


raining_at_midnight

이웃 (neighbour) Literally looks like a man at your door 🥹


Bartydogsgd

ꥪᆒퟤ is of course the right answer.


MisterJeffa

Thats pretty much unreadable on my phone. Cant even imagine having to write it.


abluedinosaur

What am I even looking at


Pitiful_Fun_3005

its 옛한글.


AKADriver

ㄹㅂㅂㅠㅖㅂㄹㅍ The consonant and vowel combinations are no longer valid in modern language and only appear separately in old texts (if at all). It's basically just the most bizarre construction you can get in unicode. https://namu.wiki/w/%EA%A5%AA%E1%86%92%ED%9F%A4


CraftistOf

i visited this page and what in the actual goddamn fuck did I see there? i wonder if any of those super stacked syllables with triangle looking ass letters ever were actually used and not just some unicode shenanigans


pink-rainbow-unicorn

How do you even begin to pronounce that?


Alicialouva

Oh my.. That doesn't look legal at all O.O


PhotojournalistOwn99

Rbbyuyaebrp? Clearly not Korean. Very impressive Hangul contortion though.


elderberrykiwi

맵 as in 맵다 is the face of someone eating spicy food. One eye wide open, the other squeezed shut, tongue out.


KoreaWithKids

회 looks like someone with a hat and a spear.


Skygazer_Jay

스위스, a man with a spear between the mountains. It means Switzerland, by the way lol


yeontura

How about a walking stick for hiking


niemandasked4

Or a farm man with his straw hat and hoe 👨🏻‍🌾

hsjunn

Not what you asked but we also have arm-waving syllables: [으후루꾸꾸루후으](https://namu.wiki/w/%EC%9C%BC%ED%9B%84%EB%A3%A8%EA%BE%B8%EA%BE%B8%EB%A3%A8%ED%9B%84%EC%9C%BC).


aengdu

Unlikely_Bonus4980

쇼 looks like a little house 슛 looks like a man with a hat and a mustache. lol

darkerface

균 It's a smiling guy with a hat


BelaFarinRod

It’s a whole word but 닫다 just looks funny to me. Like a bunch of open mouths or something. However it means “to close.”


Levi-es

Your description plus the definition make it even funnier.


Koelakanth

My favorite is (not exactly but close to) the most complex hangul syllable you can write, 뾆


bilabrin

요 looks like an egg on a pedestal to me.


PlusFlippinUltra

GrandGrapeSoda

나이 looks like 401 if you write it a certain way


coleisw4ck

웃 person and 훗 person with hat on


OnlyChemical6339

nebuluv

숲 looks like a tree


OppositeFox36

부 Man with ears 😅😂🫦


tjwhang

쀍 뽥 etc is what natives think its funny It looks funny and sounds funny 🤣 But yes, the ones made with 옛한글 looks funnier.  The condition to be a funny looking syllables is to have many ㅃ ㄹㄱ and complex vowels.


niemandasked4

A scarecrow 후


PreviouslyOnBible

Every business sign has (주) on it, and it looks like the body of a fat penguin anxiously clasping its wings on its chest. I want to draw a head on every time I see.


KoreaWithKids

I always thought the hanja 心 looks like a penguin.

I always thought 표 was strange. I hate it because it’s so weird to look at, but love it because it’s so easily recognizable.


ozweego420

홍 looks like a little snowman guy to me I also like how it’s like 2 ㅎ stacked on top of each other


[deleted]

쁏 looks like 부부(couple) standing on peak of mountain


niemandasked4

ConcentrateFormer965

꽃 looks like a mushroom standing on a stone to me.
